If you run a Centre...

Children's Centres have been developed throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland as places where parents and children can go to find out about anything to do with families all under one roof.

Different childrens centres have different facilities - many have a pre-school or nurseries, some also have toddler groups, classes, and activities that you can get involved in. Some also run support groups, and have special advisers at particular times for you to talk to.

Some Children's Centres can be a good source of information on local childcare, as Family Information Services officers will hold outreach sessions at the centre, and are a great place to meet new people and make new friends too!
